Freshman
Republican U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh was defeated Tuesday by Tammy Duckworth,
his Democratic challenger in Illinois' 8th congressional district.
With 41 percent of the votes counted, Duckworth led Walsh 56.3 percent to 43.7 percent. The race was initially called by NBC. AP has also called the race for Duckworth.
The volatile race between Walsh, a Tea Party
favorite, and Duckworth was one of the nation's most closely watched congressional battles. Nearly $6.6 million in outside spending was reported in the contest, including $2.7 million worth of ads attacking Duckworth poured into the race by conservative super PACs in recent weeks.
